Managing the Ranch as a Business: The School

---

We offer two formats for our training courses:

The Live Seminar-Workshop format and a Distance Learning program.

Regardless of the option you choose, You will learn how to properly apply the basic grazing concepts and principles. More specifically, you will learn how to: 

• Adjust the graze period in a way that reduces overgrazing by preventing the “second bite.”
• Plan the rest period in order to provide adequate root energy recovery.
• Apply stock density so that it increases utilization and improves manure distribution.
• Use animal impact to improve rejuvenation, the water cycle, organic matter decomposition and manage the top 2 centimeters of the soil.
• Reduce run off and evaporation and increase water holding capacity of the soil.
• Manage the stage of growth for optimal harvesting of sunlight energy.
• Gain an understanding of the importance of nutrient recycling through the animals and into the soil.
• Develop management strategies to encourage soil organic life and increase the populations of soil microbes. Calculate stocking rate in Animal Days per Acre ( ADA ) by using estimated or actual data.
• Use forage species selection to match the environment.
• Develop efficient and economical pasture cell designs.
• Plan around your personal restraints and accommodate personal issues.
• Understand herd requirements and plan around them.
